After a successful day out with Sue and Sam yesterday we headed back up to the Cairngorm Ski Centre car park. It was simply grim. Sue and I jumped into Sam's van to discuss the options for the day. As we sat there the van shook in the wind and part of the camper van next to us blew off and hit the van.
We ran away.
At the lower ski car park we went for a walk to practice kicking steps, cutting steps, building snow anchors, digging snow shelters and looking at wildlife. It was a fun day but cold and wet. It was so horrid I was actually happy to sit in an emergency snow shelter and get out of the wind and griness.. We walked off the hill for about 4pm and retreated to the Active Cafe in Aviemore.
